Abstract

The device for relieving the skeletal muscles, especially for the neck and lumbar vertebrae, comprises a mat of foam material with transverse ribs projecting on the upper side and standing obliquely towards the foot side and a foam pillow with transverse ribs projecting on the upper side and standing obliquely towards the head side. The divergently oblique transverse ribs of both foam sections stretch the spine in two opposite directions and increase the space between the vertebrae to release and sooth pinched nerve-ends and overstressed discs.

Description

Vorrichtung zur Entspannung der Skelettmuskulatur, insbesondere der Hals- und Lendenwirbel .Device for relaxing the skeletal muscles, especially the cervical and lumbar vertebrae.

Viele Menschen leider unter Schmerzen und Verspannungen, die durch Verklemmungen der Nervenenden in der Wirbelsäule und der Halswirbel erzeugt werden. Eine Ursache für diese Schmerzen liegt in der Verwendung ungeeigneter Kopfkissen, die nicht ausreichend auf die phys ologischen Gegebenhe ten der menschlichen Muskulatur und des Skelettes Rücksicht nehmen .Unfortunately, many people experience pain and tension caused by the jamming of the nerve endings in the spine and cervical vertebrae. One reason for this pain is the use of unsuitable pillows that do not take sufficient account of the physiological conditions of human muscles and the skeleton.

Durch die DE 34 40 585 AI ist eine zweiteilige, einen mehr¬ fach gefalteten Streckformkörper und einen federnden Lage¬ rungsformkörper umfassende Vorrichtung zur Wi rbel säulen- extension bekanntgeworden, die als Spezi a1 atratze auf eine Einwirkung auf die gesamte Wirbels ule abzielt und aus zwi¬ schen Abdeckplatten befindlichen, hochstehenden bei Belastung sich verformenden Querrippen besteht, wobei die gesamte Matratze z B. aus Schaumstoff besteht.From DE 34 40 585 AI, a two-part device comprising a multi-fold stretched molded body and a resilient molded molded body for widening the column has become known, which, as a specialty, targets an action on the entire spine and consists of two ¬ cover plates located, upstanding deforming under load transverse ribs, the entire mattress consists of foam, for example.

Ein in dem DBGM 90 16 604 beispielsweise beschriebenes körper¬ gerechtes Kissen gegen Ha1 swi rbel arthrose hat den Nachteil , daß es aus einem verhältnismäßig formsteifen Material besteht, das mit einem weichen, porösen Material überzogen ist und oberseitig eine der hinteren Krümmung des Halses entsprechende Profilierung aufweist. Diese Gestaltung bewirkt lediglich eine verbesserte Unterstützung der gebogenen Halswirbelsäule bei einem in Rückenlage schlafenden Menschen, was aber unzurei¬ chend ist, da der Mensch während des Schlafes nicht immer in Rückenlage liegen bleibt. Gegen eine bereits bestehende Hals¬ wirbelarthrose wird in ätiologischer Hinsicht nichts angestrebt und bewi rk t .A body-appropriate pillow against swelling arthrosis, for example described in DBGM 90 16 604, has the disadvantage that it consists of a relatively dimensionally stable material which is covered with a soft, porous material and on the top side a profile corresponding to the rear curvature of the neck having. This design merely improves the support of the curved cervical spine in a person sleeping in a supine position, but this is inadequate since the person does not always lie in the supine position during sleep. From an etiological point of view, nothing is attempted and achieved against an existing cervical spine arthrosis.

ERSATZBLATT Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine solche Vorrichtung in ihrer Herstellung technisch zu verein¬ fachen und derart umzugestalten, daß zusätzliche Extensions* kräfte auf die W rbel körper-Zwi schenräume einwirken, die ein normal gestal tetes Kopfkissen allein nicht ausüben kann-REPLACEMENT LEAF The invention has for its object to technically simplify the manufacture of such a device and to redesign it in such a way that additional extension forces act on the intervertebral space of the vertebral body that a normally designed pillow alone cannot exert.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merk¬ male des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Bei besonders breitschultr gen Menschen empfiehlt es sich, die Bodenplatte auf einer gleich großen Unterlegplatte aus dem gleichen homogenen Schaumstoffmatertal abzustützen-In the case of particularly broad-shouldered people, it is advisable to support the base plate on a base plate of the same size from the same homogeneous foam material.

Eine auf die ganze Wirbelsäule sich erstreckende Exten- sionswirkung kann dann erzielt werden, wenn der Schaumstoff- Formkörper durch eine mindestens körperlange Matratze mit oberseitig divergierenden schrägen Querrippen unterlegt ist- An extension effect extending over the entire spine can be achieved if the foam molded body is underlaid by an at least body-length mattress with oblique transverse ribs diverging on the top side.

Nachfolgend wird anhand der Zeichnung eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Schaumstoff-Formkörper 10 besitzt eine mindestens fingerdicke Bodenplatte 1, aus deren Oberseite mehrere divergent schrägstehende Querrippen 2,2' etwa handbreit hoch hervortreten.The foam molded body 10 shown in FIG. 1 has an at least finger-thick base plate 1, from the top of which a plurality of divergent oblique transverse ribs 2, 2 'protrude approximately a hand's breadth.

Die Bodenplatte 1 hat einen oder zwei Fortsätze 3, 4, die nach oben umgeklappt sind und die Querrippen 2,2' oberseitig abdecke Im Falle von zwei Bodenplatten-Fortsätzen 3 und 4 bilden die beiden gegeneinander ge ichteten Stirnseiten der Forts tze 3 und 4 den offenen Spalt 5. Mit dem Pfeil 11 ist der durch den Hals ausgeübte Belastungs¬ druck und mit dem Pfeil 12 der durch den Kopf verursachte Belastungsdruck angedeutet-The base plate 1 has one or two extensions 3, 4, which are folded upwards and cover the transverse ribs 2, 2 'on the top side. In the case of two base plate extensions 3 and 4, the two mutually directed end faces of the extensions 3 and 4 form the open gap 5. The arrow 11 indicates the loading pressure exerted by the neck and the arrow 12 indicates the loading pressure caused by the head.

Bei Seitenlage des Kopfes findet die Schulter des Schläfers in der Mulde 19 des Schaumstoff-Formkörpers 10 ausreichend Platz und bei besonders breitschultrigen Menschen empfiehlt sich die Unterlegung des Schaumstoff-Formkörpers 10 durch eine zusätzliche Bodenplatte 1' .When the head is on its side, the shoulder of the sleeper finds sufficient space in the depression 19 of the foam molded body 10 and, in the case of particularly broad-shouldered people, the foam molded body 10 is recommended to be supported by an additional base plate 1 '.

Der in Figur 2 dargestellte Belastungsfall zeigt, daß die Querrippen 2 und 2' durch Stauchung verkürzt werden und dadurc auseinandergerichtete Druckwirkungen in Richtung der Pfeile 8 und 9 ausüben, die zu einer Extension der Halswirbel führen. Es reichen schon geringfügige Extensionen , um eine fühlbare Entspannung eingeklemmter Nerven zu erzielen- Wesent¬ lich ist, daß der Kopf 6 und die Schulter 7 der schlafenden Person in Richtung der Pfeile 9 und 8 auseinandergespreizt werden -The load case shown in Figure 2 shows that the transverse ribs 2 and 2 'are shortened by compression and dadurc exert pressure effects in the direction of arrows 8 and 9, which lead to an extension of the cervical vertebrae. Even slight extensions are sufficient to achieve a noticeable relaxation of pinched nerves. It is essential that the head 6 and the shoulder 7 of the sleeping person are spread apart in the direction of the arrows 9 and 8.

Die in Figur 3 dargestellte zusätzliche Matratze 15, die auf ihrer Oberseite ebenfalls divergierende Querrippen 16 und 16' aufweist, ergibt eine sich auf die gesamte Wirbelsäule er¬ streckende Extens onswi rkung . Der Schaumstoff-Formkörper 10 findet dadurch einen sicheren unverschiebbaren Halt auf der Matratze 15, daß eine erhöhte Querrippe 14 der Matratze 15 in eine unterseitige Quernut 13 des Schaumstoff-Formkörpers 10 eingreift.The additional mattress 15 shown in FIG. 3, which also has diverging transverse ribs 16 and 16 'on its upper side, results in an extensive effect extending to the entire spine. The foam molding 10 finds a secure, immovable hold on the mattress 15 in that an elevated transverse rib 14 of the mattress 15 engages in a transverse groove 13 on the underside of the foam molding 10.

Eine Optimierung der auf die gesamte Wirbelsäule einwirkendenAn optimization of the effects on the entire spine

Extensionswirkung wird dadurch erreicht, daß dem Kopfende 17 der Matratze 15 eine größere Dicke gegeben wird als dem Fu߬ ende 18.Extension effect is achieved in that the head end 17 of the mattress 15 is given a greater thickness than the foot end 18.

Als Schaumstoff für den Formkörper empfiehlt sich die Verwendung von Latex-Schaumstoff.The use of latex foam is recommended as foam for the molded body.

Nachfolgend wird anhand der Zeichnung eine weitere Ausführungs¬ form eines Schaumstoff-Formkörpers näher erläutert.A further embodiment of a foam molded body is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Der in Figur 5 dargestellte Bei astungsfal 1 zeigt, daß die Querrippen 2 und 2' durch Stauchung verkürzt werden und da¬ durch auseinandergerichtete Druckwirkungen in Richtung der Pfeile 8 und 9 ausüben, die zu einer Extension der Halswirbel führen. Es reichen schon geringfügige Extensionen, die aber über die Zeit von mehreren Stunden anhalten, um eine fühlbare Entspannung eingeklemmter Nerven zu erzielen. Wesentlich ist, daß der Kopf 6 und die Schulter 7 der schlafenden Person in Richtung der Pfe le 9 und 8 auseinandergespreizt werden-The example shown in FIG. 5 shows that the transverse ribs 2 and 2 'are shortened by compression and thereby exert pressure effects in the direction of arrows 8 and 9 which lead to an extension of the cervical vertebrae. Slight extensions are sufficient, but they last over a period of several hours to achieve a noticeable relaxation of pinched nerves. It is essential that the head 6 and the shoulder 7 of the sleeping person are spread apart in the direction of the pipes 9 and 8.

Aus Elastizitätsgründen können an den Kopfenden des Schaum¬ stoff-Formkörpers 101 Querbohrungen 23,23 größeren Durchmessers vorgesehen sein, die ein leichtes Zusammendrücken dieser End¬ partien des Schaumstoff-Formkörpers gewährleisten.For reasons of elasticity, transverse bores 23, 23 of larger diameter can be provided at the head ends of the molded foam body 101, which ensure that these end parts of the molded foam body are compressed slightly.
